The Tree is Expression

Sometimes I wonder how much of this we're all just, as it's put, "faking till we make it".
There's a lot of great terminology going around in the "New Age" movement that give us virtually infinite ways of expressing our experiences as our individual and collective process of waking up unfolds. I think sometimes, though, we can get distracted. It doesn't seem like a big thing on the surface but it actually kind of poses as an obstacle in our actual awakening - but only if we let it. The truth is, we need to let go of everything.
Yes, everything. Yes, that is what I said. But what does this mean?
Well, sure, it's up to our own perception to determine what anything means. To me, letting go means, even if there is fear, choosing to acknowledge what is presenting itself to me, what my body is asking me to go for. I think it can be hard to understand what our bodies are telling us when we treat our bodies in ways that go against our inherent nature and design. So we have to be practical in our endeavors - some people just aren't going to understand what you are saying when you use the term "ascension." I don't, often.
But you know what? That's because it's a largely religious/mystical idea borrowed from the minds of other people who have lived before us. Why not create our own ideas, and our own culture?
That's just what we're doing. And it's very, very important that these ideas have a fertile and healthy foundation in which to take root, other wise they will continue to sprout and simply whither away. I think the foundation is on a very primal, basic level:
*proper nourishment *sexual expression *appreciation *self love
All of these are basically different branches of the same tree, and that tree is the allowance of the expression of all natural instinct. We have to be vigilant. That is why we are called warriors- because it's a challenge, it's always a risk. But it's one we cannot afford to not take.

I am Schozo, Master of Firey Shadows

When you are attempting to heal the earth, it's really rather magical and quite funny what happens along the way. I observe my own violent reactions. I am swallowed by what I feel. I am flying. I am dying. I am living. I am schozo. i don't know what I want to say

when I am in this state of awareness I can see how I feel that everything is unnecessary that I do when I am not feel stillness. I wonder..and I wonder..and I realize that the only purpose to this existence is to exist.

So I continue to question, ....yes.

A big poopy thunderstorm is love

I feel like such a big poopy fart. And I don't want consoling. I just want deep appreciation and compassionately expressed understanding. Where are You? ~*I AM RIGHT HERE*~
This is what is going through me. Hehehehehehehehehehe.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I itch and long to create music of vitality and windswept wisdom; spontaneous and colorful and unapologetic. Did I just hear you say that? Yes, I'm sure you did because I chose to use these words. We are not slaves, we never have been, because we have only to master ourselves as unique individuals. Nothing can be done to console you and lull you back into sleep, I will only continue to shake you and touch you gently, with fierce fullness of love, until you arise. You have only to be what you always have been, which means what you always are. I can see that we only need to make it more simple, because understanding the simplest essence of anything (read: everything) is all that wisdom truly means.
I am crazy. I am manic. I am off the wall and out the window. I see with many eyes. I speak with many tongues. I touch with many hands. I walk with many feet. I sing with many a beat. I am untameable, I am, a force of the earth itself, the terribly fiercesome power of the thunderstorm. I am an artist. And I see...I see perfection itself...dancing elusively around my storm clapping  mind.

A Prayer

I am unlearning what I used to believe. And I am discovering all that I can be. I give you a prayer, so that you may speak the spell and let love to come you:

I am so young . . . a dreamer out to learn who I am, and what I can create. 

Oh Mother, Teach me 

all that I desire to know and learn and grow into my True Self of joy and abundance and freedom and serenity. Help me to Trust that 

In Letting Go I come into a dream of magic and possibility! I ask that you bring me

eternal inspiration to create this artful masterpiece of life!

I Thank You Forever for this beautiful abundant creation called Intent with which I get to play with and have so much fun! Thank You for the brilliance all around me all the time.

Thank You for my fellow Dreamers who I get to create incredibly, amazingly, deeply satisfying love relationships with! Thank You for giving me the courage to trust my heart and take chances in creating the experiences I have always wanted.

I pray for my Friends, my Family, my Planet, my Universe, my Dream, and our Collective Dream, that we may make the choice as a Family to recognize our interdependent interconnectness, and choose a Dream of Love. Thank You. May it be so. And So It Is. And So It Is. And So It Is. Creation!

Veganism as a Sacred Practice and Spiritual Path

Righteous. That's what I think of when I remember the motivation of my choices. Not self-righteous, but true righteousness- the kind of actions that embody justice and unwavering intent towards truth. I am a Vegan. I am a Human. I am a Lover, and I am a Warrior. My desire is to grow and live more fully in joy, aligned with my true values of compassion, peace, love, and honesty. Integrity through my actions is extremely important to me; and I can't pretend to be completely impeccable, because I am growing just like you! I love being this way. One part of my life that I know I am impeccable in is my commitment to non-violence through my eating choices. I am a part of a growing number of people who are NOT willing to compromise when it comes to the life and value of another living being.
Veganism as a sacred practice means acknowledging and feeling the experiences of my sacred non-human family, as I go through my life. By simply observing what is happening around me. And by making choices that reflect what I can see.
This is a spiritual path, meaning that it may take years for these values to integrate into other aspects of my Being. This is beautiful.
If you are not on a Vegan path or you are a Vegan and you compromise your integrity through your actions, Why is that? Are you afraid of something that is within you? Remember that we hold intentions and emotions in different places in our bodies. It very well may be that you are feeling somethings that are extremely uncomfortable and masking those emotions. I am asking you to examine the ways of thinking you have held inside for so very long. I believe in you completely. All I want for you is to question the disconnect you have been conditioned to create inside your bodymind. And together we can move towards a more peaceful planet for ALL living beings.
